RICHMOND — The team lead by Madison County attorney Marc Robbins pled guilty Tuesday to beating 80 golfing attorneys from 20 other Kentucky counties in a scramble at The Bull. This American Cancer Society benefit was won by Marc Robbins, Jack Conway, Clay Bishop, Jr. and Clay Bishop III with a (Wow!) 20-under par 52.

The second place Laurel County team of J. L. Albright, Keith Early, Jim McCloven and Jason Estep also shot a 52 but lost on a verdict handed down by the scorecard. Third place went to Christian County with Lincoln Foster, Mike Foster, Livy Leavell and Bobby Nichols with a 54.

In the special events the closest to the pin honors went to Kevin Burns, No. 4; Anna Roberts Smith, No. 8; David Jenkins, No. 14; and Caleb Brock, No. 17. In the longest drive contest, the winners were: Joseph Meadow, No. 6; Clay Bishop III, No. 9; Doug McCain, No. 13; and Lee Riddle, No. 16.

The last-place team of Janet Ghram, Gina Carey, Bob Stokes and Dennis Spaulding received wind jackets. All the players received a shirt with engraving that read “Convictions Are Par For The Course”.

It was a fun day of golf on a beautiful golf course and a very successful fundraiser for a worthy cause. Congratulations to our Madison County team on some great golf. You da men!

Special thanks to Tom Giacchini for faxing me these results.

Mahalo!
